Kelly came out and did a segment on us last year, and she came out for a Cub Scout event we were running too...
This last year I made another ornament for the tree..I usually add pics of all the anchors, and this year I forgot one. Chris Burrous is the 'spicy' anchor. You either love him or hate him, his personality is a lot like Dax's. So since I forgot Chris, they made a fuss in a fun way about our shop. To make up for it we made Chris his very own ornament, and filled a Scrapbook Addict mug with candy. Again getting recognition from them on the air.....(AKA Free Plugs)
So recently, another anchor Lisa Gonzalas came into the shop...now I didnt know it was her, as she was in sweats and a ponytail...I helped her out, but in the back of my mind kept thinking"Where do I know her from???" I finally realized who it was after talking to Sharon our tenant neighbor at Blue Paradise tanning.
I sent in an email to the station (they like to read emails on air) asking if the anchors liked to be recognized in public places...or perhaps they like their privacy..later that day Marianne and Julissa strolled in to the shop...
Ok, maybe I was "star-struck" but I think more it was just the realization, that I know who they are, and now they know who I am...And I appreciated their recognition and support...
The 3 gals are coming out Friday to scrapbook! We all have scrapbooking in common and it dosnt hurt to have local celebrities patronize your place of business.
So Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!!
